You could also try turning the cardi from #1 around and wearing it under the open Shacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2229171 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 01:22:59 +0000 Jonesy 2229171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these finds! You wear these colors so beautifully! The cardigan is great but the IM pink shacket and Tibi quilted jacket are super-fab! Like several others, I would wear that shacket with olive, gray, black, navy, and cream/bone/ecru.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2229160 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 23:46:55 +0000 Roxanna 2229160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie thank you! As you know, your opinion means a lot :)</p> <p>I'm leaning towards fluid fits, higher necklines, structured shoulders and midi hemlines these days... But every once in a while a wild card comes asking that makes me want to throw the rules or the window and experiment a little and have fun </p> <p>The Isabel Marant shacket is like that for me - oversized, perhaps overpowering on my frame, but I am willing to go with it and have fun. Ditto the Malene Birger sweater - the colour and quality send me over the moon, and I like the oversized fit - but it is a LOT </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2229077 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 17:21:45 +0000 kellygirl 2229077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. I like your new style direction. The pink shacket is my fave and suits you to a tee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2229074 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 17:17:42 +0000 Angie 2229074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shade of bubblegum pink is absolutley DELICIOUS on you, <b>Roxanna</b>! (Pics #3 to #5). No wonder you were drawn to it. The dark buttons are AMAZING with your hair! That jacket does look a size big though. Are you happy with the fit?&nbsp;</p> <p>Wear pink with your earth tones, black and grey.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the merlot cardigan!</p> <p>#8 and #9 = KILLER :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2229043 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 15:49:37 +0000 Suz 2229043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - a jacket! That makes sense, now I look more closely.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look beautiful in the pinks, so I think you'll find them working well in your closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2229038 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 15:28:40 +0000 Roxanna 2229038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these ideas - thank you all!</p> <p>I like the suggestion of Olive. And you are all right - the black buttons on the shacket make it a natural match for black, so I will try our with black leather or maybe a black Tweed. </p> <p>The Tibi jacket is a jacket, with an olive quilted body and black sleeves. I am excited to try that with a few other silhouettes too.</p> <p>Thank you all for your suggestions - I'm excited to try them! I'm already thinking about those rich brown tones...</p> <p>Jaime - yes, researching to see what a good buy you got is half the fun, isn't it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228985 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 11:41:19 +0000 Anonymous 2228985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like hot pink with burgundy or brown usually, though have paired with orange or red or dark green too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228977 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 10:48:16 +0000 Katerina 2228977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fabulous finds, Roxanna! Love them all on you. How about dark chocolate brown with the pink jacket? I think that would be a yummy combination for you. Are the buttons black or dark brown? Here is a pic of an aggressive pink coat with column of chocolate and browns.</p> <p>I wear my “aggressive” (love the expression) pinks with olive, dark brown, navy, black, light grey…. Well almost any neutral I have. Also with true and/or red burgundy for a colorful look. Combine with colorful patterned scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228966 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 08:28:06 +0000 Star (Lise) 2228966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Besides the usual combinations, depending on the shade of pink, green and rust are striking with pink.&nbsp; Rust with blush pink.&nbsp; Kelly green with bright pink (gives me a retro 60's vibe).&nbsp; Olive with a more muted pink.&nbsp; Have a look at color palette combinations on Pinterest for a wealth of ideas.&nbsp; Lucky you, lots of fun ahead with the so many new exciting pieces to style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228952 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 07:47:00 +0000 Sally 2228952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow what great finds. I am a great fan of thrifting and think it is a fun way to add unique or older pieces to your wardrobe.&nbsp; That is a pretty pink and I think pink goes with a lot of neutrals such as black, navy, brown and beige etc.&nbsp; Those are quite unique pieces so something neutral in a style not likely to overpower the designer piece.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228951 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 07:27:50 +0000 Anonymous 2228951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colors should all look good with navy. Maybe chocolate brown, especially pink. &nbsp;The black buttons on 3-5 may call for black or maybe&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;charcoal grey </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228934 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 05:09:05 +0000 Kate 2228934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in that dark pink shacket, so a big yes to whether you can wear these deeper pinks. The Tibi vest is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228910 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 01:24:06 +0000 Jaime 2228910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness! Squee! I love that you have included the original product shots of your amazing finds - the research is a big part of the fun for me too!&nbsp;<br />And they are amazing on you. I am especially wowed by the pink jacket and the olive vest. I love how you styled the olive vest here. The pink jacket has black buttons, which suggests black, but I actually like bright pink with browns and other colors.&nbsp;<br />And what is this about your style shift? I need more information! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228901 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:41:24 +0000 Anonymous 2228901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your recent purchases! The olive quilted jacket is amazing Is it reversible? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228896 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:31:50 +0000 Suz 2228896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chucking at the idea of pink being "aggressive," but I know just what you mean! I love all these finds on you -- you truly have the thrifting gift! The shacket is amazing. But I also really love that Tibi vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228886 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 23:42:44 +0000 SarahD8 2228886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous finds! I continue to be in awe of your thrifting skills/mojo/karma.</p> <p>I think those candy pinks are really great with olive, as others have mentioned. I like that the shacket is kind of a utilitarian style. I'm imagining it with olive cords, hiking boots, etc -- to androgify (that's a technical term) a woodsman-y outfit.</p> <p>I also think these shades of pink could be a nice accent to your autumn on the beach palette. Imagine walking along the cliffs near the sea, all the pufflings have fledged but there's one lone sea thrift plant still in bloom... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228881 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 22:40:34 +0000 madeline 2228881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a haul! You did great.<br /> I wear pink with olive. Always with the pink on top and olive on the bottom.<br /> I add my olive utility jacket over my pink sweaters too. Enjoy your new finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228880 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 22:23:56 +0000 lozz_oz 2228880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’ve already answered your own question! You wear pink beautifully.<br /> Your other pink items could be teamed with the leather pencil skirt too, or with cargo pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228877 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 22:08:13 +0000 CarolS 2228877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great finds, Roxanna! The burgundy cardigan is beautiful on you, as is the deep pink of the shacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the suggestions for pairing the deeper pink with olive, browns, burgundy, and I wholly support the addition of combat boots to add a bit of edge. I hope you'll do an outfit workshop with it soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228872 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 20:49:14 +0000 kkards 2228872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this pink works on you because probably because this this jacket has an undercurrent of creamy white in it, or at least that’s how it reads to me. I’d love to see it with leather, either or a skirt or pants, also classic black work pants, i see it working with a nice cigarette or wide leg style, with a sleek black boot. I’d love to see the open back sweater over a column of creamy white. And try it with olive…the last puff sleeve sweater, honestly that one kind of stumps me..the pink looks sort of pastel but not really so its hard for me to see it with anything but a white or cream…but that’s why I don’t wear a lot of color..i have no color imagination&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228863 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 19:10:21 +0000 Anonymous 2228863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No styling suggestions but extreme support for your inclusion of pink, which is beautiful on you!</p> <p>Hoping you will continue to update as I also, out of character, have been drawn to pink recently and am looking for ideas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228862 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 19:08:24 +0000 Roxanna 2228862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks both! I should have clarified -i have a lot of pale pink/blush in my closet that I love mixing with neutrals, as though both do. These more 'agressive' pinks, though, are harder for me. Tanya, I like the idea of brown - i might wear that Malene Birger sweater with a brown Tweed skirt, as pictured. </p> <p>Jaileen, the shacket isn't felted - it's a heavy double sided wool (cream on the other side.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-to-wear-pink#post-2228861 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 18:49:10 +0000 JAileen 2228861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I want to see all of your new thrifted items. &nbsp;I like the pink top. &nbsp;Is it felted?</div><div><br /></div><div>I&nbsp;wear pink all the time. &nbsp;Most of mine is pale. &nbsp;I like it with grey, white and blue.

Below, some of my thrift finds, and a question:</p> <p>Merlot cardigan - Repeat<br /> Isabel Marant pink wool shacket<br /> Golden wool cardigan- vintage (Eatons men's department)<br /> Periwinkle blue cashmere hoodie - Massimo Dutti<br /> Olive quilted military jacket - Tibi</p> <p>I've also thrifted quite a few pink pieces that I've never been drawn to before, but I'm loving lately. I'm thinking of wearing the pink wool shacket with a vintage leather long pencil skirt and combat boots; any ideas for how to style these other pink items? </p>
